Author Interview -- Donna Brown

Morning All,

Today we have, Donna Brown, the author of Double-Take Tales answering a few questions to us:

--x--

What is one book everyone should read?I believe everyone should read one book that they believe they wouldn't necessarily like - because you may be surprised. It doesn't matter what the book is but go outside your comfort zone. If you're lucky, it could change your reading life.

Tell us your most rewarding experience since being published.I got a review from someone I didn't know all that well (back then - now she'd probably accuse me of a being a cyber-stalker!). It made me cry because I realised I had given somebody something that they had loved.

Please tell us in one sentence only, why we should read your book.Because then you can tell me if you saw the twists coming and if you liked them.

Any other books in the works? Goals for future projects?I'm about 10,000 words in to a novella (working title Harry Schmidt) but I'm a little stalled on it right now. I've been throwing round some ideas in my head for a new set of short stories but they feel a little dark right now - I need to find a way to keep them dark but with a slight twinkle of hope.

If you could have any superpower what would you choose?Telekinetic house-tidying

What inspired you to want to become a writer?I just love words. Whether I'm blogging, writing poetry, writing short stories or just rabbiting away to my husband, I love words so much

What's one piece of advice you would give aspiring authors?Start building your connections in advance. Help bloggers build their audience, get involved with something in the writing community, help others. You will need enough help in the long run so pay it forward early!
